I know, this is stupid. But can DK's Off-heal?

Post by ZettaSlow

Does Death Coil gain bonus +heal from your AP? If so, could it be used to "off-heal" since you'll be dps'ing throughout the whole raid you'll be gaining a lot of runic power would it actually be viable?

If so, I see a nerf coming. Also can it crit-heal?

It only heals friendly undead targets. Pretty much your ghoul or another DK that pops lichborne (15 sec duration, 3 min CD). Will not work on Forsaken, as they qualify as humanoid (unless they are a DK that pops lichborne).

Maybe if your whole raid was undead...

Death Coil can only heal a target undead unit, AKA only your summons.

While the DK does have some other abilities that can heal as well, Mark of Blood etc, I doubt they would be enough to be considered 'off-healing'.

yea, only way a dk can heal directly is deathcoiling a fellow DK in lichborne. Other than that only blood tree has abilities to heal. blood aura lets all party members regain 2% of dmg dealt in health, along with mark of blood that is castable on enemies and that makes each attack that enemy makes heal the target for 4% of his max hp. Rune tap and Vendetta only heals yourself.

Imagine a 25 man DK raid with each DK having blood aura? ..... :D

Doesn't stack. Not even with Blood Presence.

and probably your party/raid's Death Knight's pets as well...and yourself while under the effect of Lichborne

If you are trying to claim that healing someone for 20% of their maximum health is a good form of raid healing then you are insane. Any raid mob that does aoe damage normally does upwards of 100% damage to the party in less than 30 seconds, so an ability on a one minute cool down is crap. However, although it is crap it still is decent enough to help keep people taking minimum aoe damage capped off (like in 5 mans) so the healer doesn't have to.

There is no need to be a know-it-all. I'm sure this person is clueless about the death knight, as most every one who isn't in the beta is. Just because you were in the beta, or googled *!@# about them, there is no reason to be a jackass.

Seems a person can't even joke around these days without someone taking it seriously. C'est la vie

Actually with the amount of info available on Deathknights right now it would be more than easy to find this kind of thing out. Seriously the only topics you see are about tanking or DPS and even from general descriptions of the class and a quick and careful look at their skills will inform you of what a Deathknight can do.

Sorry I don't cater to people who ask ridiculous questions.

Also it is entirely possible this was a sad but successful troll attempt.

Yes. Bring along 20 stacks of bandages.

Hey, if I am on the healing charts, that means I'm a raid healer. :P

On my battlegroup, I generally top the damage AND healing chart for alli. Is that acceptable? lol Yeah, it's pretty bad. My total damage and healing really is never anything great. I am usually atleast 4th over all, preceding some horde.

On my pally, Between divine storm and JoL, I can get a little bit of healing in for the raid if te group is taking some raidwide damage. Eevrhy little bit helps. Wouldn't call it "off healing" so much as I might call it "practical impractically Off healing"

Good question. lol I was just trying to figure it out. I assumed all of them. What are they standing in front of and behind, unless the king is in the middle?

The line would look like this, If the king is labeled as a comma and the men are periods

..,..

Edit...should actually answer the question. It's 5
